Tsikoteers Redesign MVPMAP PhUV

[dprox]

For those who have been waiting patiently for Tsikoteers' redesign of the MVPMAP PhUV - well, here are the top three submissions.

But first, let's review the history of Tsikot's involvement with the design of Philippine Utility Vehicles.

2006

Dec 13 A survey thread on MVPMAP PhUV was opened: "Pinoy Utility Vehicle Bibili ba kau?" Tsikoteers started to speculate about how this vehicle would look. Eventually, hardcore design enthusiasts form a "roundtable", EB, and begin designing their own PhUV, to be called "Tsikot PhUV".

2007

Mar 06 They open a new thread dedicated to designing the Tsikot PhUV: "Tsikot.ph PhUV Prototype"

Apr 26 Tsikot owners EB with the Tsikot PhUV design roundtable

Apr 29 Tsikot owners create a special advocacy forum for the Tsikot PhUV and Original Pilipino Vehicles (OPV): "Tsikot Auto Design and Research Forum"
.

Jun 12 MVPMAP finally launched its PhUV in Market-Market.
Tsikot opens "MVPMAP's PhUV Feedback Thread"

Jun 23 End of Feedback period.

Jun 26 Tsikot meets MVPMAP Consortium. Tsikot admin and Tsikot Design & Research Forum commit to assist MVPMAP in restyling the MVPMAP PhUV.

Jul 02 MVPMAP Consortium sends "MESSAGE to TSIKOT.COM on the PhUV Feedback Thread"

Jul 07 Tsikot.com owner declares firm position on OPVs Living Advocacy and the Tsikot PhUV.

Jul 17 Tsikot attends MVPMAP PhUV redesign meeting.

Jul 22 Tsikot submits exterior styling analysis and recommendations to MVPMAP. [SIZE="1"][HIGHLIGHTS][/SIZE]
Tsikot roundtable sets Tsikot PhUV aside to focus on MVPMAP PhUV restyling.

Aug 17 Tsikot Design & Research Forum submits 3 body restyling recommendations to MVPMAP Consortium.
.

Tsikot has thus delivered on its commitment to help MVPMAP.
The rest is entirely up to MVPMAP.

As of this writing, the roundtable is back to designing the Tsikot PhUV.

The three Tsikoteer-contributors have requested that their names be withheld.
We are honoring this request, as we do their intellectual property rights.

However, we will mention some remarkable facts about them:

• They are all intensely patriotic.
• They all believe that the Filipino CAN!
• They are all Overseas Filipino Workers who wish they didn't
  have to leave the Philippines to find a good-paying job!

type ko ung proposal "Z"....

[jpdm]

I like Y and Z. They can easily be fabricated by existing native assemblers.

[wildthing]

gusto ko yung X. because of the aesthetic resemblance of the general shape to the oldschool jeeps (which is pinoy jeepney trademark shape).

Y & Z looks like Anfras.

[Eismann]

Type X looked like a bastardized Hummer/Range Rover....it looks rugged which is good for rural streets in the provinces and may actually dictate lower production cost than the Y & Z.

We salute you guys for your contributions... mabuhay po kayo...

Dprox? gawin kaya nating Poll/survey itong thread na ito?

[fourtheboys96]

i like X's resemblance to the jeepney but i would prefer more curves for a modern jeepney look and maybe less drag.

matutulin na din ang mga jeepney sa kalye so it would help kung mejo streanlined ang design.

Sure jedi.

[niky]

"Z" looks good, with a minimal of curved lines, yet retaining a modern and contemporary look overall.

Great work, guys.

[juntzo]

I like the Z design too... I think it is very doable and I don't care if it will look like the old anfra. Maybe it will even be an improvement of that old design.

I will definitely be interested in getting one in the future if this will push through.

[shotokan]

i would vote for design "Z"... good design and nice looking...

[jpdm]

--I hope both will be fabricated and offered to the public especially to those people who are looking for a reliable and inexpensive utility and transport vehicle.

--The Y and Z PHUV designs are no-frills but handsome designs that if mass produced can definitely change the Philippine transport landscape. The original Philippine transport workhorse-the jeepney is already an anachronism in modern Philippines--a prehistoric specie that refuses to evolve and must be relegated as rides for tourists and museum pieces.

--Indeed both designs are the reincarnation of Anfra AUV, but Anfra is one of the best looking locally manufactured Pinoy vehicle during its era (1980s to late 1990s).

Can we please see an occupant seating layout for Y and Z too?

I think it will be relevant in the decision making process...

[scharnhorst]

Z tops over Y on its back-end design. mukhang tamaraw fx yung likod nung Y

[lui]

tama pasilip naman po ng seating configuration ng y and z. mas maganda sana kung front facing din ung 3rd row tapos nafo fold parang sa pajero/starex para malaki pa din cargo space. suggestion ko lang naman po...

Hi ogpro & lui.

All three proposals are based on the MVPMAP PhUV seating configuration, since it is that same "June12" PhUV that Tsikot was helping to improve on. MVPMAP claims a comfortable capacity of 10 pax (12 pax tight).

FYI, they gave us the AutoCAD files which we passed on to serious restyling contributors.
Hindi na natin ginalaw yung interior configs. Basically, our main concern was exterior body styling. And that's the only subject of this present poll.

If you have any comments or suggestions, be informed that MVPMAP will most likely be reading this thread.

Worthy recommendations will definitely be noted by the Tsikot PhUV design team for Tsikot's own PhUV.

Type Z Proposal!!! It's a good looking vehicle that people will like. You can come up with the vehicle thats made up of People Carrier Van, Aluminun Van, Cab and Chassis only and Public Utility Van.

Like the good old days of FMC Anfra in the 90's. Who ever did this design feel free to send me pm

FMC contracted a German designer (who happened to be a student of design in Japan; so nothing to do with German design)... to do the ANFRA. Joseph Bautista used to work as Design head for FMC before but is now working with Isuzu Phils., This German designer used origami techniques in the design theme for the ANFRA. thus, all body panels are designed with the AUV building technology in mind... simple folds and bends... fyi. That's as far as I know after having chatted with Rosauro Francisco and Joseph Bautista - way back years ago...

[ocanursjr]

Thanks ehnriko for the information. I still like the Z design
